February Release "Butter" (Extended Patter)

"Butter" is the second release from Chic Recordings that was inspired by a Samsung commercial. The ad played repeatedly during the football playoffs, and every time Vic turned to me and said "this would work."

We finally pulled up the video for the full BTS (hot Korean group BTS) track, which has 700 million views. You read that right…SEVEN HUNDRED MILLION VIEWS! Mind boggling. So we added our views of the video and very quickly determined it would, indeed, be a great piece of patter music.

The original song by BTS was released in May of 2021 making this song less than a year old and still wildly popular. (Understatement.) It has a fun melodic hook, a dance beat you can’t miss, and we had tons of fun with Jimmy making this extended patter track.

I warned Vic before the first “Butter” session that if he stayed home he’d be sorry. As a kid who grew up in the 70’s, I was likely to mash the song up with the Hot Butter song of my youth. He risked it and stayed home, so you’ll find an Easter egg that you can’t miss. (It wasn’t an idle threat.)

We both went back to see Jimmy for a final session to finish the detail work that would ensure this track was “Smooth like butter.” Hope you like the final cut. If someone had ever told me that Chic would cut a BTS song my response would have probably been…”BTS?” Sure you don’t mean “BST?”

You’re never too old to learn new tricks and appreciate new music. 700M views can’t be wrong…right? Hope you enjoy it!

CHIC 4075 is the extended patter of "Butter."
